Writers’ Journal #68 – Murder on the island resort – Part 24

Spread the love

The morning had arrived. I wasn’t sure about the rest but I slept the night like a baby. I was never in any sort of athletics clubs when I was in school , although my girlfriend was in volleyball club at that time. I was more of a nerd or geek and would be found usually in the school library researching on whatever topics that would interest me then. So not surprisingly , my whole body was sore and in pain everywhere when I finally woke up that morning.

Immediately , I could hear Mrs Jamie’s voice loud and clear. Perhaps , she was into running events such as marathon? In any case , I forced my body to get up , washed my face in the guests’ restroom near the dining room and then came back to the lobby. From the first look , I could see everyone was ready to explore the new frontiers that they heard about last night and Mrs Jamie was fully geared to be their guide.

I quickly grabbed a sandwich into my pocket , since I gathered I would not have time to have a luxury breakfast as I would have liked , from the dining table , and prepared to join in the group. We started with the secret door in the dining room as Mrs Jamie had already walked through it twice and more importantly , there were markings from the second time with Mrs Jamie and I.

I each held her hands like a kindergarten children doing walk about the neighborhood and in no time , following the markers , reached the garden at the back of the resort. We patted on our backs for the job well done and came back to the resort to prepare for the lunch. We had a roasted turkey for lunch and opened quite a number of wine bottles. It was as if the disappearances events of the days before were forgotten in the light of the new discoveries.

After lunch , we gathered in the lobby to discuss on the next step and General Lee suggested that we follow those paths that were not marked by Mrs Jamie and I. Perhaps it was the turkey or the wine , I wasn’t sure but most of us were nodding to the plan by General Lee. Evening came soon and we were ready to disappear into the tunnel again. Now with all of us participating , it would be unlikely to have a scenario whereby someone were to disappear in the dark , wouldn’t it?
